Its metazoan counterpart NRZ complex, which comprises NAG, RINT1, and ZW10, is also involved in Golgi-to-ER retrograde transport, but each component of the complex has diverse cellular functions including endosome-to-Golgi transport, cytokinesis, cell cycle checkpoint, autophagy, and mRNA decay. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the metazoan NRZ complex and discuss the ¡°moonlighting¡± functions and intercorrelation of their subunits. %K autophagy %K CATCHR tether complex %K cell cycle %K endoplasmic reticulum %K mRNA decay %K NAG %K RINT1 %K ZW10 %U http://www.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fcell.2014.00025/abstract
